The village is idyllic. Quitter and well situated. The owners are very friendly and helpful. The pub is old school and welcoming. The room is modern and comfortable - some uneven surfaces but adds to the charm and everything is 100% modern (well appointed wet room etc). Food was to die for. Matt butchered on site from local animals. Amazing

The WiFi needs fixing or upgrading. Great for a get away but not ideal these days but not a deal breaker

Lovely old building but the room itself was modern. Comfortable bed and good shower. Nice breakfast. Superb location, ideal for walking. Fantastic evening meal. Clearly have an excellent chef.

Bit of noise from the kitchen filtered up to the room. Walls of the accommodation annexe quite thin I think. Shame the room didn’t have the same old-world charm as rest of the building but the owners had made an effort with the fittings and decor. Ran out of toilet paper!

Room clean and comfortable with nice teas and freshly ground coffee. Cooked breakfast was fantastic, good range of choices and accompanied by usual selection of cereals, toast. We also ate in the pub the night before which was definitely at the top end of pub meals I've had. There is a pub garden to sit out in amongst all the fresh veggies and herbs grown for the kitchen.

Breakfast was excellent with a comprehensive menu, and dinner in the restaurant was superb - a very talented chef! Location in a peaceful, well-kept village was great for local walks. The room, whilst small, was comfortable and clean, with tea and coffee-making facilities, and a good shower.

Being very critical, the pillows were slightly lumpy.

Location is beautiful. Very clean comfortable room with plenty of tea and coffee and a rather lovely homemade cookie. Very comfortable bed and nice warm room. Staff very friendly and polite and the food is excellent. Hannah and Matt deserve to do very well, every attention to detail. Thank you so much for a brilliant stay!

We came for my partners 30th birthday and they had decorated our room with birthday banners. The welcome was exceptional from all the staff. The food in the restaurant was amazing and we were looked after so well during our stay. Thank you all for making our trip so lovely! Our room was delightful, great facilities, comfortable and stylish. We wished we’d booked for longer! Our dog was happy too! Really lovely place, we will be back!

Absolutely nothing to dislike!

Fabulous stay at the Black Lion Inn. We all really enjoyed our stay at this historic pub & everything was perfect. The rooms were clean, spacious & very comfortable. We were really well looked after. Food was fantastic. In short - a perfect stay & highly recommended. Many thanks to Hannah & the team.

Nothing could be improved upon - everything was perfect & we were well looked after.

The Black Lion had fantastic food both at dinner (scotch egg heaven) and breakfast (loads of options including full English and eggs royale). Staff were exceptionally welcoming and made us feel very at home. Whatever we asked for they went out of their way to help us. We especially appreciated the late night dairy free lattes.

We stayed for 3 nights and whilst the room was spotless when we arrived, the housekeeping service could have been better as we had to request dry towels/ clean cups each evening when we returned. These were always very promptly provided upon request but it would have been nicer to return to find the room ready to go.

Staff were amazing and very friendly. They were accommodating and communicated brilliantly. There was a lovely vibe. The room was clean and we enjoyed the homemade cookies provided :P

Overall there's really not much to fault here. I wasn't keen on the choice for white wine (that's a personal preference though) also the bed was actually quite small.
